Last we heard from Texans coach Gary Kubiak about safety Ed Reed’s medical condition, Kubiak said the Texans did not anticipate Reed’s hip surgery but went ahead with it once the hip started bothering him.

“We’re told that the Ravens, while not specifically aware of the extent of the problem, generally knew that Reed’s hip was bothering him. The Texans apparently didn’t.”

It’s unclear whether that means the Ravens knew Reed would need some level of surgery or not. It’s also unclear if that factored into the Ravens’ decision not to re-sign him. It’s also unclear how bad Reed knew his hip injury was. And another thing we don’t know is what he told whom when.

Regardless, the Texans say they are expecting Reed back a couple weeks into training camp.
